#8 Tim Cahill (Australia) - 11 goals in 15 matches
The Melbourne City forward just refuses to get old. Or rather, refuses to give in to ol' Father Time, for even at the age of 37 and in the twilight on his career, Cahill manages to produce the goods for his side which exemplifies his cardinality to the Australia football team.
The Socceroos punched their ticket to Russia at the eleventh hour, but Cahill has been there throughout, scoring goals for fun and helping his side stay alive in the title race. And when he didn't, Cahill played the role of an orchestrator, silently doing all the dirty work for his team.
Although there's a lot of scepticism now with the former Everton man refusing to commit to the World Cup and also talks of him quitting the A-league to stay fit for the event, contrarily. However, the Oceania outfit would find it hard in Russia without their talisman, despite the presence of notable figures such as Tomi Juric, Tom Rogic, Aaron Mooy and of course, Mile Jedinak.
For all the beautiful moments he's conjured while his time at the Premier League that we couldn't help but submit to its awe, it would be a delight to watch Cahill produce something similar one last time before he heads into the sunset.
